high-definition creative commons posters depicting The King, the Hermit, and the Two Princes from the Pañcatantra together with further information.

A king entrusts a hermit with his treasure to keep it from his spendthrift sons. After the king and hermit die, the younger son, seeking a life of virtue, lives in the hermitage and discovers the gold. Meanwhile, the elder son’s greed ruins the kingdom. The wise younger brother is eventually crowned, proving that character, not inheritance, defines a true ruler.
